This is a followup to the previous kmem series. I divided them logically
so it gets easier for reviewers. But I believe they are ready to be merged
together (although we can do a two-pass merge if people would prefer)

Throwaway git tree found at:

        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/glommer/memcg.git kmemcg-slab

There are mostly bugfixes since last submission.
Overall, I like this series a lot. However, I don't really see this as a
v3.7 material because we already have largeish pending updates to the
slab allocators. I also haven't seen any performance numbers for this
which is a problem.

So what I'd really like to see is this series being merged early in the
v3.8 development cycle to maximize the number of people eyeballing the
code and looking at performance impact.

Does this sound reasonable to you Glauber?
Absolutely.

As I've stated before, I actually believe the kmemcg-stack and
kmemcg-slab (this one) portions should be merged separately. (So we can
sort out issues more easily, and point to the right place)

The first one is a lot more stable and got a lot more love. The goal of
this one is to get it reviewed so we can merge as soon as we can - but
not sooner.

early v3.8 sounds perfect to me.
